WELCOME MESSAGE The department welcomes MA applicants considering graduate studies at PhD level, as well as those with more applied interests who are looking to improve their analytical and computational skills. Applications to our Master's Program in Economics are only accepted in the Spring semester and students are enrolled in the Fall semesters. We have a teaching faculty of around 20 members and about 45 graduate students with a high teacher/student ratio. Each year, around 25 students are enrolled in our program. Although an undergraduate degree in economics is not required for application, we still expect that students considering application have taken some economics courses. Our graduate students have a diverse educational background. Around half of the students enrolled have an undergraduate degree in economics and, again, around half of them have completed an undergraduate program at Boğaziçi University. Students entering the program are required to complete 46 credit hours for the "MA Degree without thesis" and 37 credit hours for the "MA Degree with thesis" option (details of these two options are available M.A. Curriculum page below). Master's Projects and Thesis are written on a wide range of microeconomic and macroeconomic issues while emphasizing both theory and applications. The students present their research at the departmental workshops and seminars, and also discuss their research with faculty at informal lunches. Abstracts of recently completed Master's Thesis are available at the Thesis and Dissertations pages below. Besides the formal written exams, we do not resort to personal interviews during the application process. Our program is designed to be completed in four semesters, and the maximum time allowed is six. We strongly advise that students enrolled should not consider part‐time work outside academia, since this may result in not completing the program within the time allowed. Regarding the recent graduates of the M.A. program, about half of them are continuing with their studies at Ph.D. level, and mostly abroad. Remaining students are either employed in organizations such as the Central Bank of Turkey, the Turkish Treasury, or other financial institutions and major private sector companies. 3
Fox Fellowships at Yale University . Graduate students at our department pursuing doctoral or masters level are eligible to apply for Fox research fellowships which covers tuition and living expenses at Yale university for a year. These fellowships are aimed at students who want to do research related to their thesis topics. The Graduate Coordinator and Graduate Committee formed by faculty members regularly follow the students' academic performance and the faculty is readily available for consultation. For information regarding the detailed description of the program, the curriculum and the application procedure, please follow the links below. For any other inquiries about the program, you may contact [email protected]. 4
